Animated Window Hack at MTS2

[syberspunk]

Hear ye, Hear ye.

Since many of you don't always check MTS2, I thought this might be interesting. It's an actual animated window hack. I didn't even know you could open windows

Anyways, just thought I'd share the info. I like hacks that add a bit of realism.

I saw that before I went on my lunch break. You beat me back here, Ste. 

It looks cool, I just wanted a MATY seal of approval. As all the comments there so far are, "OMG THE GREATSEST!" And there have not been any real feedback on the quality of the mod. Other than Inge's comments of course.

[Assmitten]

That is pretty badass. I like realism, too, but I like it with benefits as well. I would probably be inclined to download this if a little fresh air could improve the environment score. Or if they could stick their heads out and shout. "You kids get off my lawn!!!"

That sounds like a job for Pescado.

You know what would be way cool? If, when something burnt, they autonomously opened the windows. Even more fun...if the smoke would billow out!

[syberspunk]

What would be cooler is if burglars like crawled in through windows... instead of, you know... using the front door.

And I haven't seen a burglar in a whiles now, and I've played a few days in Pleasantview where everyone in the house was actually sleeping. Oh well. We need an update to the weekly burglar hack.

Ste

ETA: Ha ha! I beat you to it, Jelenedra! I Win!

Furthermore, are you the same Jelenedra that made the Carth Onarsi and Bastilla Shan sims over at MTS2? You rock!

Moreover, as for an official MATY stamp of approval? Well, I can't guarantee that, but I can say that atavera has made some really neat hacked objects. They seem pretty trustworthy/reliable, like the bug zapper and baby blankies.

[Jelenedra]

I haven't had a burglar since... forever. I think I had one back when I was playing my sci-fi house with the uber fertile Revan and Carth. (4 kids all within days of each other with another on the way) and that was 4 months before my puter went splodey.

Yes, that would be cool, and the addition of more oxygen being added to the conflagration would result in the entire house being destroyed before the emergency crews could do anything.

(In the event of a fire, CLOSE windows and doors (AFTER you get out))

I really like the look of those windows - I trust your opinion Ste but I am only just downloading CC again and for the moment I'm sticking with MATY hacks.  Have you got them in your game and if so, is everything working well?

[Annette]

If you like windows that open and close, have a look at the ones on www.pixelsims.com they are in building/windows and doors/page 8 This is one of my favorite sites, all my bathrooms have their louvered windows 

[Karen]

I love these!  They look great in-game and the animations are very smooth.

I didn't say open them during a fire, I said after burning something. Burnt food smells bad and at least my house remains eye-wateringly smoky long after even the slightest risk of actual fire has ended.

[Weaver]

I thought the closing would refer to the shutters... so it was a little less triumphant in my mind when playing spot the difference in the pictures attached.

Those are what I'm talking about.
Now I have to resist the urge to pad my downloads folder with Pixel Sims clean and agreement objects.. again.

If burglars started doing that, I'd very quickly revert to no-window construction and the entire neighborhood would instantly revert back to my natural urge to construct fortresses.

You mean you've been relaxing your guard a little lately?   I thought you were just getting more laid back cos someone else had taken over the strings

[J. M. Pescado]

Well, when I first started with simming, I built traditionally fortified windowless boxes. The sims didn't appreciate the resulting environment much. But then I noticed burglars never actually attempted to go in through windows. So I just started imitating Maxis buildings. Of course, if anything hazardous started, I would quickly relapse to fortified buildings. I'm not a Floridanian, I catch on fast.

Slightly delayed response to Ste:

Yes, I be she. Glad you liked them.

I was working on a set of Grey's Anatomy sims when my computer went asplodey. I was mad too, I finally got Cristina's face right. Stupid Sandrah Oh and her freakish bone structure. So hard to make simmy and still be attractive.

[syberspunk]

Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! I <3 Sandra Oh!!!! And I absolutely <3 Grey's Anatomy. Did you watch last season? Did you watch last week's premiere!?!?!??!11111

Gah! I can't believe it! Denny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And have you seen Sideways, that movie totally kicked ass. And did you see when Sandra won her Emmy (or was it Golden Globe, I forget - I think for Grey's)!?!? I think she is totally "Jelenedra" hehe. I was joking about it with my sister. Cuz she does kinda seem dykey in a way... and then during her acceptance speech, she totally thanked her supposedly long time partner/best friend or what not, which I'm pretty sure was a woman's name. My sister and I busted out laughing, but it would be totally so more than awesome if she actually did turn out to be gay! I love Sandra Oh because I always feel so under represented or poorly represented on tv (being a double minority - asian and gay), and I think Sandra Oh is a kick ass actress. She is just all kinds of awesome on Grey's Anatomy. And I'm glad that they've developed her more and she isn't necessarily a 'one-note' kind of character.

I hope your 'puter recovers. If they ever do a hospital/medical type EP, I would so love to have the cast of Seattle Grace Mercy in my game.

Is "Grey's Anatomy" some kind of alien autopsy show?

[Jelenedra]

No silly. It's not about aliens.

No I didn't see Sideways, or the Emmy's/Golden Globe's. Although if she was Jelenedra it wouldn't surprise me. I was telling my hubby she either plays a bitch, a dyke, or a stripper. (Loved her episode on Six Feet Under. "She helped me through my first double penetration.")

And yes, I saw the season premeire. I was kinda disappointed, NOTHING happened. Hope it picks up or they might lose viewers to CSI.

Looks like they're building an arc for Cristina though. Squeeee! And I am glad that George is finally growing balls (Double Squee) My prediction: Webber is going to retire and Burke is going to be Chief since his arm is all goobly-gucked.

And hopefully it (my pc) should be fixed sometime this week. IT guy at work is going to fix it for me, so barring complications....
